China's Surging Defense Budget

Analyst Dean Cheng provides us some insights about China and China's "double digit" increase in its defense budget, here.
In some quarters, the latest boost in Beijing's defense spending is already being blamed on the United States.  The U.S. announced a "pivot to Asia" in January, so China promptly increased its defense budget.  This line of thinking underscores the truth in the old adage that, for every problem, there is a solution that is neat, plausible - and wrong.
It isn't always about us.

As for the Analyst, Dean Cheng, he is an interesting person to talk with.  I commend his work to you.

  1. Oh....China's surging defense budget is simply and innocently about shoring up their defense because of American adventurism and colonialism. It would be foolish to believe that this is a mark toward and expansionist and aggressive China.

    If you don't believe me, just ask the State Department...or Fearless Leader
